The ship-like Jahaz Mahal, moored, as it were, between two picturesque kunds that fill to the brim during the rains, Hoshang Shah s Tomb, said to have inspired the builders of Taj Mahal and Jami Masjid, conceived and executed like the Mosque of Damascus, stand testimony to the grand vision of their patrons. The book also traces the legend of the star-crossed love of the poet-prince Baz Bahadur and his beautiful consort, Roopmati.

Download or read book Perspectives in Indian History written by M. Jankiraman Ph.D. and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perspectives in Indian History deals with the history of India from 10,000 BC until 1857 AD. It delves into the story of the Indus-Saraswati civilization and the development of the Vedas. Such a book has been written for the first time, wherein India’s history has been analyzed from the early Hindu period. Hitherto most history books have emphasized the Muslim period or the British period. These have been written by Muslim historians or European colonists, which was often skewed by their fundamental bias that no civilization could equal their own. During this retelling, the author covers the interesting aspects of each age starting with the Ramayana. He then examines hotly debated issues like whether Alexander the Great won or lost in India. The author carries out an analysis of the causes of the conquest of India by the Muslims. The author analyses detailed battleplans of major battles, which affected India’s history, like Panipat, Plassey, and many others, and discusses the weaponry and tactics used in these wars.
